 Nestor (Birds) - LoveToKnow 1911
The Phillip-Island Nestor may be distinguished from both of the New-Zealand species by its somewhat smaller size, orange throat, straw-coloured breast, and the generally lighter shade of its tints.
The position of the genus Nestor in the order Psittaci must be regarded as uncertain, but it is now usually placed in the sub-family Nestorinae of the Trichoglossidae (see Parrot).
Further knowledge of this very interesting form may be facilitated by the following references to the Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute, ii.

 FOREIGN PERIODICAL LITERATURE
The Platycercinae are considered "primitive," having given rise to the Loriinae, early stock of which perhaps gave rise to the Nestorinae.
Melopsittacus and Pezoporus are placed in the Platycercinae, the Psittaculirostrinae is erected for Psittaculirostris (regarded as intermediate between platycercines and lories), and Lathamus is placed in the Loriinae.
The linear order, the author suggests, namely Platycercinae, Psittaculirostrinae, Nestorinae, Loriinae, seems odd--his phylogenetic views instead suggest Platycercinae, Psit- taculirostrinae, Loriinae, Nestorinae.--L.L.S.

 Some Information on Parrots of The World
Commonly, all the parrots of the world can be generally grouped into two different families, the Cacatuidae or cockatoos, and the Psittacidae or true parrots.
Of these two, there are several subfamilies grouped under them as well, and this would include subfamily Loriinae, Nestorinae, Strigopinae, Micropsittinae, Psittacinae, Platycercinae, Arinae and many tribes categorized under these.
Generally almost half of the parrots of the world are kept as pets.
